Why a bone-health<br />
program?<br />
40% of our bones<br />
are built during<br />
adolescence.<br />
Adolescence is<br />
<strong>the</strong> most critical time<br />
to get enough bonebuilding<br />
nutrients.<br />
Reaching students<br />
now can help develop<br />
bone-healthy habits<br />
for life.<br />
Research shows<br />
that Alberta kids are not<br />
eating well enough or being<br />
active enough to keep<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir bones strong. *<br />

WHO IS BONES?<br />
P4B follows <strong>the</strong> story of Agent<br />
BONES. He is from ano<strong>the</strong>r planet<br />
and is on a secret mission to Earth<br />
to find a cure for a disease that<br />
makes his bone hair brittle and<br />
unmanageable. His human sidekick<br />
Alex – and your students – help<br />
him on this mission.
